DOWNTOWN BRENHAM TO HAVE ‘SUNDAY FUNDAY’ EACH MONTH

  

A new entertainment event has started in downtown Brenham, happening on the first Sunday of each month.

“Brenham First Sunday Funday!”  launched on April 2nd, bringing several hundred visitors to enjoy live music, shopping, family activities and special menus at several eateries.

“After recent surveys of hoteliers, restaurants and tourist attractions, we learned that the top request from tourists is for more things to do on Sundays,’” said Page Michele, president/CEO of Washington County Chamber Convention & Visitors Bureau.

"Brenham First Sunday Funday!" was organized by Home Sweet Farm Market, Ninety Six West, BT Longhorn Steakhouse & Saloon, Roux Street and Brazos Valley Brewing Company.

They plan to continue indefinitely, on the first Sunday of each month, providing several bands and family entertainment.

This Sunday musical entertainment includes:

• 1:30  Comin' Up Muddy at Home Sweet Farm Market
• 2:00  Art Wozniak at Brazos Valley Brewing Company
• 2:00  The King Bees at Roux Street
• 4:00  Aaron Neil Loesch at Home Sweet Farm Market
• 4:00  The Blue Grooves at Ninety Six West
• 6:30  The Mighty Orq at Home Sweet Farm Market

There will also be food trucks at Brazos Valley Brewing Company. BT Longhorn Steakhouse & Saloon will feature a Bloody Mary & Mimosa bar, a DJ with continuous music, and a children's bouncy house. Home Sweet Farm Market will host face painting, caricatures, a artisan & farmers market, Whitehurst Heritage Farms eggs, poultry and pork.

Ninety Six West will hold a Sunday brunch and an evening crawfish boil. Roux Street will have a fish fry, as well as fresh oysters on the half-shell.

The Dawn of Washington County, a 25-minute movie, will show at The Barnhill Center at Historic Simon Theatre at noon and 1 p.m. There will also be tours of the restored theatre.

“The Downtown shopping experience on 'Brenham First Sunday Funday!' is more robust than normal Sundays,” said Jennifer Eckermann, manager of Main Street Brenham.

“The additional businesses open on May 7th are: Back Lot Gallery, Bluebird Off The Square, Branded Boutique, Brenham Book Nook, Brenham Grill, Canyon Chick, Dona Lynn’s Unique Gifts, fancy that!, Hermann Furniture, JR’s Antiques & Collectibles, Lolli & Dauts Boutique, Must Be Heaven, Puppy Dawgs & Cat Tails, Ranch Interiors, Smitty’s Café and Bakery, the Visitor Center, Today and Yesterday and The Woman’s Cave.”
